Can’t Stop What’s Coming!

Try as hard as we may
We can’t change the truth
As hard as going back in time
To another time or youth.

When it is on its way
Whatever is meant to be
What it is, is what, it is
No matter, what we think, we see.

Karma, justice, or fate
You can call it what you will
We’re all part of Eternity
Until, it has had its, fill!

We can try to trick it
We can, turn the other cheek
Try to fight it, proud and strong
Or do what some do, the meek.

In a hundred years ahead
There’s few, who’ll know our name
Except for those very few
Who have gained fortune or fame.

But, each of us will leave our mark
The future, it’s ours to hold
The impact maybe, miniscule
In, those stories to be told.

It will always be, what it is
Filled with wishes, hopes, and dreams
Although, we all do change it
No one will notice it, it seems!

So, all we can do is go on
Through that tunnel, towards the light
Until we can't see it, anymore
Though we may try, with all our might.

Truth be told, my friend...I'm sure glad to have been there for what's already passed though --- and looking forward to the rest, er, I think, anyway...

"It will always be, what it is
Filled with wishes, hopes, and dreams
Although, we all do change it
No one will notice it, it seems!"

Keen observation, and it does seem as written.  But we never know just what might be behind tomorrow’s sunrise.
Thank God for today and anticipate tomorrow with joy.
